  2. Overview • Current TO Environment • Mission Impact • TO CONOPS • History - AFMC/CV Tasking • IRT Summary of Findings • ETIMS • Customer-Focused Requirements Generation • Actions Taken AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  3. Analog approach in a digital world • Currency • Accuracy • Timeliness • Distribution Current TO Environment AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  4. Mission Impact A-10 Pallet of Paper TOs/Squadron Tech Order Container: 600 TOs B-1 B-2 One Pallet Per Squadron F-15 Maximum weight: 10,000 lbs Dimensions: 88 x 108 x 96 F-16 Consumes Valuable AEF airlift resources KC-135 AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  5. Enterprise Vision TO CONOPS • DoD-level direction on transition toward a digital environment (DEPSECDEF Memo, 2 Jul 97) • AF/ILM Memo, 28 Feb 00, TO Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and TO Policy • Develop AF CONOPS and architecture to support • Develop transition plan and roadmap • Executive Direction: AF/IL • Oversight by GO-level MAJCOM & AF/ILM Steering Group • Working-level customers: HQ AFMC/DR & EN • AF/ILM, AF/IL, and AF-CIO concurred with approach TO VISION: Up-to-date, technically accurate, and user friendly TOs at an acceptable price AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  6. History - AFMC/CV Tasking Review technical order systems and processes, provide recommendations, and develop an approach to achieve AF TO vision and roadmap for AFMC Processes Policies Systems IRT Deployed – 18 Mar 02 Organizations AFMC/CV Briefing – 23 Apr 02 AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  7. IRT Summary of Findings • Findings • 20+ systems used to perform TO functions • Many systems provide similar functionality • Systems perform below user expectations • Inconsistent data/manual data reconciliation • Local systems exist without defined orvalidated/documented requirements • Impact • Warfighters must interface with multiple TO systems • Untimely distribution of safety notifications • Excessive and duplicate user workload • Inconsistent, redundant, untimely, or missing TO data AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  8. Moving to the 21st Century Enhanced Technical Information Management System A Technical Order Management System that isuser-friendly and provides accurate andup-to-date data to users in the format required. • ETIMS will: • Improve management and distribution of paper and digital TOs • Provide current, accurate status of change requests • Leverages functionality of ATOMS, JCALS and other separate systems and processes • Take advantage of the “golden nuggets” in current systems • ETIMS will not: • Improve accuracy of TO content • Provide e-Tools for MAJCOMs AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  9. Solution: ETIMS No enterprise digital distribution Paper TO updates can take months & are not tracked at an enterprise level FMS customers not fully supported Not interoperable with user e-tools Does not support classified users ETIMS Seamlessly supports digital & paper TOs Timely updates managed & tracked Meets FMS needs Provides expeditionary capability better integration of TO suppliers/users Provides classified capability Today AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  10. Request, Download, View, Manage Change Request, Download, View, Manage Change Paper ETIMS Architecture Distribute Ship Product Centers, ALCs ETIMS TO Order SPOs/SMsOEMs View Logical Repository New,Updated TOs GCSS-AF Produce TOs TO Index Request, Download Subscriptions As needed synchronization TMSSCompliant Tools = AF Portal AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  11. ETIMS Solution • Improves flight safety, readiness • Improves TO quality, timeliness • Consolidates TO data/metadata to single source anddelivers to users (System of Record) • Architected & built on GCSS-AF • Eases integrationwith Mx / Logmanagementsystems • Postured forengineering datavia Teamcenter AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  12. Proposed Schedule Single Source of current/accurate TOs (digital and paper) Manage TO updates and changes Extend ETIMS capability to Foreign Military Sales. TO Authoring and Warehousing. 12 months 12 months 12 months 12 months 12 months 12 months Spiral 1 Type II Viewing. Expeditionary Ops. Spiral 2 JCALS Cutover Spiral 3 Classified TOs Spiral 4 Spiral 5 FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 Development Deployment AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  13. Customer-FocusedRequirements Generation • Rational Unified Process (RUP) • Proven and widely accepted methodology using ause-case-driven approach • Serves as the foundation for the rest of the development process • Use cases play a major role in system design, user interface design, and testing • Work in Joint Application Design/Joint Requirements Definition (JAD/JRD) Sessions • Facilitated working sessions for effective consensus building and decision making • Work in Storyboard and Screen Design Sessions • Facilitated working sessions to refine Graphic User Interfaces (GUI) to best fit user’s needs AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  14. Actions Taken • Architecture • JCALS synchronous interface defined &prototype built • Bandwidth utilization model developed • C4ISP draft • SSAA draft • GCSS-AF (LM) expertise on site with integrator • GCSS-AF integration points established • COTS selected • Negotiated ETIMS enterprise license for Teamcenter • E-commerce • JATDI distribution services • Fat client viewing solution known, thin client option under evaluation Architecture Defined/Teamcenter Purchased AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  15. Actions Taken (Cont’d) • Difficult capabilities defined and designed • Workflow – eliminated separate COTS in architecture • Subscriptions • Disconnected operations • Spiral 1 proceeding • Functional requirements baseline complete • Storyboard sessions complete • JAD/RAD sessions complete • COTS integration underway • Full logical data model • Component model • UML documentation SPO development testing started Dec 03 AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  16. Actions Taken (Cont’d) • Deployment • MAJCOM site visits accomplished • Deployment Plan in work • Data Migration Plan in coordination • SLAs in progress with HQ SSG and DISA for Help Desk (Level 1), NetRA testing, and SSAA • Spiral 2 planning started • Storyboard session for workflowcompleted 5 Dec 03 AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt

  17. Summary • Warfighter Focused • Single Point of Entry • Current TOs at the point of need • Automatic Electronic TO Updates • Scalable / Flexible Architecture • Componentized for software modernization • Web-based for ease of use • GCSS-AF Integrated AIA ETIMS Briefing 9-13 Feb 04 (FINAL).ppt
